Phase I Orthodontics
Phase I orthodontics is an early interceptive orthodontic treatment method offered to children who still have temporary teeth. If your child is between seven to ten years old and is already showing signs of complex orthodontic issues such as crowding or cross bite, our in-house orthodontist may recommend functional appliances, like palatal expanders, to minimize the chances of these issues becoming worse. With this proactive approach, we can help our young patients avoid more serious interventions later by guiding their growth.
Traditional Braces
When you think of the word “Orthodontics” the first treatment you imagine will likely be traditional metal braces. This tried-and-true technique used for straightening teeth is reliable, efficient, and highly effective, allowing our team to address bite problems, misalignment, and a variety of other concerns. By attaching small metal or porcelain brackets onto your teenager’s teeth, we can place a measured and gentle amount of movement on them by using an archwire, helping shift them into their ideal positions.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign is the brand-name of a clear aligner system that is designed to address bite and dental misalignment through a series of custom crafted trays that are slipped over the arch of teeth. They’re worn for 20 to 22 hours each day by your teen, only being taken out whenever they need to eat or clean their teeth. Once the results are complete, your teen will be able to enjoy a straighter, healthier smile.
ClearCorrect Clear Aligners
ClearCorrect is another brand of clear aligner system, and while the method of straightening teeth is the same as Invisalign, there are a couple of differences. ClearCorrect aligners are thinner and lighter than Invisalign trays, making them even less visible. They’re also made from a special patented material, called Align Technology, which has been shown to provide slightly faster results, depending on the situation. ClearCorrect also offers flexible treatment options that can vary in price.
SureSmile Clear Aligners
In addition to offering Invisalign and ClearCorrect, you can also choose SureSmile clear aligners. This brand uses the same smile-straightening methods as the other brands and are very similar, but we want you and your teen to have every option to choose from. SureSmile is unique in the fact that it offers pay-as-you-go options as well as all-inclusive pricing, depending on whether you have more minor cosmetic concerns or serious misalignment issues. We’re happy to discuss the pros and cons of each option with you based on your unique treatment plan and diagnosis!
